Outsourcing

Maintenance outsourcing is a common practice in most large and medium-sized companies as a way to delegate work to external companies specializing in maintenance services, whether corrective, preventive, or predictive.

Outsourcing is possible with a prior analysis of the service. It consists of analyzing the maintenance structure, production, and its process. This is done to determine which jobs, equipment, or subprocesses can be delegated to external companies. When outsourcing, the following must be taken into account: price, resources and human talent, quality, management control, and delivery times.

Thanks to this analysis, a provider with experience, good technology, and a sound financial position will be chosen.

Advantages

If the company needs a maintenance service provider, what advantages arise from outsourcing tasks? First of all, it raises the bar by hiring predictive and preventive maintenance. Furthermore, machine maintenance tasks are supervised by the contracted expert, and the services are performed by experts specialized in the maintenance task to be performed.

Conclusion

Maintenance outsourcing can be implemented if necessary, according to the manufacturer’s specifications or your own customized requirements. Finally, contracting a maintenance service is usually done in the case of highly specialized maintenance.

What is tracking and how does it work?

E-commerce consists of the electronic purchase and sale of a product or service via the internet or online services. Payment is made with a bank card transaction or direct debit. The online business platform is usually a website where the products for sale are displayed.

When an online purchase is made, the seller generates a code, usually alphanumeric, to identify the customer’s order (not to be confused with the product code). The company and the distribution company then exchange the necessary information about the package, and a tracking code is generated. The package has a barcode or QR code. When scanned with a reader, the customer receives tracking information by entering the alphanumeric tracking code on the carrier’s website, obtaining information about its location and the time of arrival. This information is updated by scanning the barcode or QR code again at various checkpoints along the route until delivery. Upon delivery, the product is scanned one last time and delivered to the recipient. The seller can issue an invoice, also electronic.

Conclusion

Tracking is a new way to promote a company’s speed, efficiency, and transparency. This increases consumer confidence and also provides more efficient delivery planning and coordination, reducing the risk of package loss or damage, and even resolving problems and disputes.

MIM Patchwork, a company of the MIM Group that focuses on intralogistics automation, will be present at the Logistics & Automation trade show in Porto. Since the group of companies began operating in Portugal, industrial maintenance has been the business that has grown the most.

MIM Patchwork has also been growing throughout Portugal with several projects underway. According to Medir, CEO of the Group of Companies, the company believes in the power of applied technology in the industry.
Customized Projects
The methodology is characterized by developing comprehensive, customized, and modular projects. Through its ongoing projects, MIM Patchwork helps improve warehouse management and operational efficiency, as well as providing precision in logistics processes.
The way of working is flexible, as it works with automated systems, both European and Asian, among others.
Finally, the wide range of products includes all types of sorters, robotic systems, and sorting systems.

Telescopic conveyors stand out as a key solution in intralogistics automation due to their adaptability. According to MIM Patchwork Service, a MIM Group company with over 20 years of experience, these systems automate merchandise handling, streamlining loading and unloading operations, improving worker ergonomics and safety, and reducing costs and waiting times. Their robust technology and modular design allow for multiple configurations (height, direction, speed, etc.), adapting to various types of loads and workspaces. Additionally, they can be equipped with counting, RFID reading, weighing, labeling, and sorting systems, improving product entry and distribution.

Medir Lecha, CEO of MIM Group, points out that these devices minimize human error and damage to merchandise, optimize the use of available space, and improve inventory management, raising quality and service standards.

MIM Group had the honor of presenting a prominent presentation at the Randstad Agora during the Barcelona International Logistics and Material Handling Exhibition (SIL) 2024. The presentation, focused on the topic of “Maintenance and Artificial Intelligence (AI),” attracted a large number of attendees interested in technological innovations applied to maintenance.

MIM Group professionals, with extensive experience in the field of maintenance and AI, presented the significant improvements that artificial intelligence brings to maintenance processes. The presentation was led by three key figures from the company: Medir Lecha, CEO of MIM Group; Alex Sola, Commercial Director; and Marc Llobet, Head of AI Implementation.

Medir Lecha highlighted the importance of integrating AI into maintenance practices, highlighting how these technologies can optimize operations and reduce costs.

Conclusion

MIM Group’s participation in SIL 2024 underscores its commitment to technological innovation and its dedication to providing advanced solutions that drive efficiency and competitiveness in the market.
